AN INTERIV E ir 1ITI TII FAMOUS
OUTLA AW.
A Thrilling Story--ills rirst Troubles
The Rascally Revenue Officials.-How
Duckworth was Killed--Simple Jue
tice Demanded--Nothing More.
Mr. Carl McKinlay, of the News
and Courier, has succeeded in ob
taining an interview with Red
mond, the notorious outlawed dis
tiller. The interview was obtained
only after several attempts, and
great secrecy as to the locality of
Redmond was enjoined. Mr. Mc
Kinlay, after describing the hero of
this narrative as a remarkably hand
sono'and gentlemanly young man of
twenty-four, of great popularity
among his neighbors, thus gives the
tale in Redmond's own words
"I WAS BORN IN GEORGIA,"
he began, "but we moved to this State
when I was quite young. My father
was old and inform, and my moth sr
was bedridden. I have had to take
care of them, and of several sisters
-one of whomu was a cripple, and
could not move without the aid of
crutches-s-inco I was a child. I am
now twenty-three years of age, and
will be twenty-four on the 24th of
next October-if I live. The reve
nue officers want to capture mue," he
continued, "for the sake of the re
wards which have been offered for
me-it is easier for them to make
their money in that way than by
working for it." (They may find
themselves mistaken in this view.)
"My father owned a still all his life,
as did all the f.rmers about here,
before tho revenue laws were passed,
and I worked it for him. Vo were
very poor, and he could do very
very little. I worked on the farm
all day, and at the still at night to
make a living for us. I have often
worked all day ploughing and then
run the still all night until break
fast. I would be so tired next day
that I have gone to sleep in the
corn-row between the plough
handles, and would wake up only
when my horse stopped at the end
of the furrow. This kind of life
was too hard for me and soon broko
me down, so that I got to working
one night at the still and sleeping
the next. I worked in the farin
every day at the same time. They
(the revenue otficers) pressed, me
so close after a while that I quit
distilling and went to hauling
whiskey and selling it in North
Carolina. They found out that I
was doing this, and a warrant was
issued for my arrest.
THE FIRST TROUBLE
I had with the ievonue officers was
all on my side, as they captured and
destroyed for me one hundred and
twventy-t.hree gallons of whiskey. I
had paid one dollar per bushel for
the corn that made it, besides
eighteen dollars a month to the man
who ran the still. The officers cut
up and emp)tied three barrels of
the whiskey, and kept twvo barrels
for their own drinking. They kept.
these two barrels hid in the woods,
and would come back and get it b)y
the jug full whenever their supply
gave out. Old man told me,
the other day, that when they came
for the last of it they arrested him (!)
and toolk him off, andl all the officers
stop)ped on the side of the road and
filled their jugs with the whiskey
which, they told him, was Red,
mon d's. They carried off twventy
three gallons at this load.
FATHER AND MOTHER KILLED.
The next morning, it was Sunday,
the officers rushed into my house
and presented their guns at my
father and captured him. He was
seventy-eight years of age, and my
mother, who was confined to her
bed wvith palsy, was nearly as old.
Father begged them not to alarm
her-she was badly frightened-and
he would surrender. They asked
for me, but I was at the sp)ring
when they came up and saw them
and so escaped. Father told them
I was not far off, but I kept out of
the way, and they took him down to
the church near by. They captured
several other men in the church, and
the preacher stop~ped in the midst
of his sermon and sat down. My
father and several others gave bal
-the rest they took away with
themr. My mother was. badly
frightened by it all, And died a few
days afterwards. )Ly father h ad to
go toAbevi)s. The jot auef
exposure made him ill, and he, too,
died a few weeks later.
After an interval spent in conver
sation on indifferent subjects, I led
Redmond back to the matter in hand
by asking what was his next
"trouble." He replied that it was
THE, KILLING OF DUCKWORTII,
and concerning this well known
aflair he gave the following ac
count
"When Deputy Marshal Leo was
discharged from the revenuo service
he had in his possession a warrant
against me, which he turned over to
Frank Case. This warrant Alfred
Duckworth, who had been recently
appointed on the revenue force,
tried to get from Case who refused
to lct him have it. Duckworth then
swore he 'would take me, warrant
or no warralt . or would kill me in
the attempt.' 'Ho had taken one
highflyer,' he said, and by God, he
intended to take another.' Duck
worth had been almost raised with
me from childhood, and we knew
each other well. He was very bigot
ed, and was always bragging and
doing rash things. He rode one
day by his own grandfather's house,
where there was a picture of Gen.
Washington hanging against the
wall of a room, and he shot several
balls into it through the open door
or window from where lie sat on his
horse. The holes I .y be seen in
the picture now. People told
me what he had threatened against
me, but I only said, 'surely he has
better sense than to try to take me
without a warrant.' I said I would
meet 'Alf,' as I always called him.
and try to laugh him out of it, Ha
will give me the' same chance he
gives other people. A few days
later I had to haul a wagon load of
corn and went over to got it. The
driver was sitting by me, and on the
road ho saw a crowd coming. I said
'There comes the revenue officers
now.' The driver asked what will
they do? I said, 'Nothing, they
have no warrant for me.' I knew
that Case had it. They came up to
us and stopped, and we talked to
gether about about one hour and a
half.
DUcKwORTH SULKY.
I asked Duckworth about old
times, but saw that he lookoI salky,
and that there was something
wrong. At last he said, 'Major, did
you know that I had a warrant for
you ?" I said, 'No.' He said, 'Do
you want to hear it read ?' I said,
'Yos, if you have one.' He got off
his horse and drew from his pocket
a bunch of warrants. I saw that he
had one for a man named Southerly,
but none for me, and I thought he
was joking. He road the warrant
and called my name in place of
Southerly's. I still thought he was
only joking, and asked him to let
me see the warrant. He said, 'No,
by God, there's no use in it.' He
then asked if I was going to submit
to it ? I replied, 'If you don't want
me to handle the warrant, let some
of these fellows see it--that is all I
want. I don't want to tear it up.'
He says, 'I suppose you don't in..
tend to submit to it?' I replied, 'I
am willing to submit if you will
make me certain it is for me. I can
give you security.' He said, 'There
is no use in that ; you have got to
walk before me to Brevard to
night.' I said, 'I don't know that I
will see Brevard to-night. I have
other business. You ought to give
me the same chance you give otber
men.' Ho then went to his horse to
get his pistols.
GOING FORl 1I,8 PISTOLS.
Ihknew what he was going for as
soon as lie started. His horse was
several steps from him, and I could
have killed him bqfore he got hold
of them. I did not want to kill him,
however, (this was said earnestly
and feelingly), although I knew
that he bad threatened repeatedly
to kill me or take me. I said to
him that I had not come prepared
to fight him, but he only replied,
'That didn't make any difference l'
So he went up to the side of his
horse and took two pistols from the
holsters and pointed one of them in
my face. 1 sato the five balls inz the
chambers. Several men were sit..
ting around, and Jim Paxton now
came up ; he had been with t$bem
and had heard what they were koing
to do. He spoke to me and dtove
on. He, too, kneiv they had ne
warrant for me, and $llogjt 1
wouldn't be taken withiouli one, Sp
he rode on, as he didn't want to see
any fuss. Duckworth's pistol 'wais
aimed at me, and I, -said: Looil
here, Alfr'ed, I don't want, yane
